MacBook Pro 13″ is the Bestselling Computer of 2010

Amazon has just released their “Best of 2010” list, and sitting right at the top of their bestselling computer list is the MacBook Pro 13″. Apple’s popular laptop also grabbed the number one spot for the “Most Wished For” computer of the year.

I’m not surprised at all to see the MacBook Pro take this position, I have the 13″ model and it’s a great machine. Earlier in the year I went ahead and upgraded the MacBook Pro to 8GB RAM and I’d love to get an SSD drive after seeing this video of the performance boost. These kind of upgrades squeeze even more performance out of an already stellar laptop.

Anyway, back to the official accolades… if you’re curious, here’s the press release from Amazon:

You have to wonder if the numbers changed at all after December 15, but I’d imagine that the holiday rush would only favor Apple even further. I guess you could say it was a good year for the MacBook Pro?
